In the new December issue of DETAILS magazine (the one with my favorite gossip boys on the cover), Pete Wentz opens up a bit more about his life and druggy past.
He says that when he found out that he was going to be a father that he “was definitely scared, just thinking, This is something that’s going to exist for the rest of your life and you can’t fuck it up”. He also says that it “was a happy accident” and that it happened “for a reason in your life”.
The interview also said that as he grew up, he suffered from severe panic attacks and drug use/abuse became more frequent.
He shares that he started taking pills which were “zombifying, you’re, like, drooling. For a while, I was a total drugstore cowboy. I had The Pill Book, which is awesome because I could learn every shape and number, and then be like, ‘Those are the blue footballs, those are the bars …’”
Scary! He even said that he even overdosed one time while parked outside a Best Buy and was finally persuaded by family and friends to go to the emergency room.
Good thing he learned to quit it and hopefully become a good father.
